Quote:Short version: Its not their ZoI. I'll leave the rest up to your imagination (tip: check out the map of sirius)
My imagination says there is no reason for them to not go there. They trade in Liberty. They trade in Kusari. None of these places are their zone of influence.
The map of Sirius seems to confirm what my imagination is saying as well.
Maybe my imagination is bigger than yours?
As long as they abide by Gallian law, I see no reason for them not to be allowed to trade there.
Whats more, I suspect (imagination here, not fact) that they have similar enemies so would welcome the oppurtunity to trade with a party as geographically opposed to them as possible however, thats a decision for them to come to I suppose.
My imagination also says that due to the route needed to get there by either party, Outcasts and Bretonians are rubbing their hands at the prospect of a corsair trade ship to...'interact' with. A win win for most parties in Sirius who fancy a little interaction.
This is just my thoughts on the whole situation however but my question remains.
Why are Corsairs still rep hacked?
Is there a specific reason or is it that someone else hates them as well?

They are rep-hacked because they are unlawfuls, who rob Gallic shippers in sirus. (as I would expect them!) and because they are Sirians, so, let me help you Sirian = bad, Sirian that harms Gallia = Twice as bad. Now why would the GRN help them? not to mention how the heck would a corsair transport get up to there unharmed? they have to pass Bretonia, swarms of OCs and bounty hunters. it's simply very much ooRP for corsair to be in Gallia, not to mention that he need to fuel and get food, which is nothing he can do in the proximity of Gallia, as Gallic unlawfuls either aid outcasts, or shot all Sirian unlawfuls that enter Gallia (aka Maquis). Outcasts, do I need to say anything? IMG hate corsairs too.
Quote:They are rep-hacked because they are unlawfuls, who rob Gallic shippers in sirus
They rob them?
Gallics aren't elsewhere?
Gallic shippers have only just reached Sirius. The minefield only recently open.
Gallia has intentions on all of Sirius so there are, assuming your logic is correct, no Gallic shippers because Gallia=bad as far as Sirius is concerned.
With this in mind, Gallia hasn't really come into contact with corsairs so '=twice as bad' doesn't apply.
Infact, if a Gallic trader turns up within the Empire with food (or rum), by their own laws, he will travel unmolested all the way to Crete.
Quote:who rob Gallic shippers in sirus. (as I would expect them!
Bretonia will do what to Gallic traders?
What will the Xenophobic inhabitants of Kusari do to Gallics?
How about the ever friendly people of Liberty?
You have clearly thought through your position sir.
Quote:GRN help them?
Don't forget the GRP as well.
Who wants help?
A trade pass would be welcome but help?
You have misunderstood the question.
Quote:how the heck would a corsair transport get up to there unharmed?
The same way corsair traders get anywhere. You are under some delusion that there are places friendly with corsairs. There are VERY few.
Gallia is easier to get into.
After Bretonia, there are the Outcasts and maybe a few Kusari groups as well as the BHG who operate all over. IMG in the Tau's are on a slightly better footing with corsairs than you think, bearing in mind their environs.
On the other hand, getting to Liberty involves navigating either Bretonia or Rheinland. Every faction there is hostile to Corsairs except the Unioners.
The Bretonia route on the other hand?
Well they have to pass LH territory and then it's Rogues and Xeno's, not to mention the ever present LN, LSF and LPI.
So in summary, is there any real reason why Corsairs are rep hacked to GRP or GRN bases?
My GRN however still seems to be hardrepped to some nongallic Factions. I found i cannot improve my GRN`s zoner rep, so cannot dock any Freeport.
Now this is especialy odd because it makes Zoner NPC and stations generaly attack any GRN nomatter Zoners would exactly generaly not do that.
Additionaly:
' Wrote:Gallic Royal Navy
[...]Navy officers are known to be some of the most zealous conservatives in support of the monarchy. Yet the discovery of the Sirius colonies that made the future war almost inevitable ,also split the Navy into two opposing groups, with the minority supporting anti-isolationists. In 640-670 AGS, many of them chose to defect in order not to support the militaristic policy of the Crown. They were the ones who helped the Council steal and capture the first warships of the Council fleet. Despite these circumstances, the Navy retains the reputation of an honorable organization that was never subject to corruption accusations and never refused, directly or indirectly, to obey the orders of the monarch.[...]
So additionaly according lore also not all GRN support the isolation Policy, so they should not generaly be hardrepped, not leaving them a choice some of them already took, nomatter secretly obviouse.
Therefor i would like to ask if most hardrep`s to nongallic could be removed from GRN to give them back that choice to defect the regarding order so they can become neurtal to Zoners and dock at Freeport 10, Tau37 for example.

It only says some disobeyed the orders of the monarch in regard to the isolationist policy, not that any or all of thouse became The Council.
The only thing that would make sense for Corsairs is that the rep-hack would be removed from GRP as they are quite corrupt. GRN? GRN are like the perfect soldiers that blindly follow the high-ops orders, Corsairs are Sirians (which is bad enough) and as Gallic people trade with Kusari atm, inRP Corsairs would rob and kill them when they get the chance as they have no reason no to do so.
And IMG don't hate corsairs? are you drunk? Corsairs are rep-hacked hostile to IMG and IMG| have bounty on them too. So a corsair would need to pass via very hostile space in order to get to Gallia too, I have no idea what are you talking about, Corsairs are not allowed to lurk Tau-23, with good explanation - Outcasts. They swarm the area in huge numbers and it's way far from Corsair homeland, the only inRP explanation is that after alpha raid a corsair fled to that area. Now, tell me how would corsair even enter Gallia, when even Council are not big fans of them, the Brigands are allies of the OCs, the maquis will shot them since Council don't like them and UC will shot them as they are possible competitors for the Gallic black market. So please, only because you are 1000% biased to your corsair smuggler stop all of that Q_Q. as per now corsairs have no reason to have their rep hack removed.
